  • POSTERS SESSION I: Atmospheres of Massive Stars
    Abstracts of Posters 25 POSTERS (Grouped by sessions in alphabetical order by first author) SESSION I: Atmospheres of Massive Stars I-1. Pulsational Seeding of Structure in a Line-Driven Stellar Wind Nurdan Anilmis & Stan Owocki, University of Delaware Massive stars often exhibit signatures of radial or non-radial pulsation, and in principal these can play a key role in seeding structure in their radiatively driven stellar wind. We have been carrying out time-dependent hydrodynamical simulations of such winds with time-variable surface brightness and lower boundary condi- tions that are intended to mimic the forms expected from stellar pulsation. We present sample results for a strong radial pulsation, using also an SEI (Sobolev with Exact Integration) line-transfer code to derive characteristic line-profile signatures of the resulting wind structure. Future work will compare these with observed signatures in a variety of specific stars known to be radial and non-radial pulsators. I-2. Wind and Photospheric Variability in Late-B Supergiants Matt Austin, University College London (UCL); Nevyana Markova, National Astronomical Observatory, Bulgaria; Raman Prinja, UCL There is currently a growing realisation that the time-variable properties of massive stars can have a funda- mental influence in the determination of key parameters. Specifically, the fact that the winds may be highly clumped and structured can lead to significant downward revision in the mass-loss rates of OB stars. While wind clumping is generally well studied in O-type stars, it is by contrast poorly understood in B stars. In this study we present the analysis of optical data of the B8 Iae star HD 199478.

  • A Basic Requirement for Studying the Heavens Is Determining Where In
    Abasic requirement for studying the heavens is determining where in the sky things are. To specify sky positions, astronomers have developed several coordinate systems. Each uses a coordinate grid projected on to the celestial sphere, in analogy to the geographic coordinate system used on the surface of the Earth. The coordinate systems differ only in their choice of the fundamental plane, which divides the sky into two equal hemispheres along a great circle (the fundamental plane of the geographic system is the Earth's equator) . Each coordinate system is named for its choice of fundamental plane. The equatorial coordinate system is probably the most widely used celestial coordinate system. It is also the one most closely related to the geographic coordinate system, because they use the same fun­ damental plane and the same poles. The projection of the Earth's equator onto the celestial sphere is called the celestial equator. Similarly, projecting the geographic poles on to the celest ial sphere defines the north and south celestial poles. However, there is an important difference between the equatorial and geographic coordinate systems: the geographic system is fixed to the Earth; it rotates as the Earth does . The equatorial system is fixed to the stars, so it appears to rotate across the sky with the stars, but of course it's really the Earth rotating under the fixed sky. The latitudinal (latitude-like) angle of the equatorial system is called declination (Dec for short) . It measures the angle of an object above or below the celestial equator. The longitud inal angle is called the right ascension (RA for short).

  • Chapter 1 a Theoretical and Observational Overview of Brown
    Chapter 1 A theoretical and observational overview of brown dwarfs Stars are large spheres of gas composed of 73 % of hydrogen in mass, 25 % of helium, and about 2 % of metals, elements with atomic number larger than two like oxygen, nitrogen, carbon or iron. The core temperature and pressure are high enough to convert hydrogen into helium by the proton-proton cycle of nuclear reaction yielding sufficient energy to prevent the star from gravitational collapse. The increased number of helium atoms yields a decrease of the central pressure and temperature. The inner region is thus compressed under the gravitational pressure which dominates the nuclear pressure. This increase in density generates higher temperatures, making nuclear reactions more efficient. The consequence of this feedback cycle is that a star such as the Sun spend most of its lifetime on the main-sequence. The most important parameter of a star is its mass because it determines its luminosity, ef- fective temperature, radius, and lifetime. The distribution of stars with mass, known as the Initial Mass Function (hereafter IMF), is therefore of prime importance to understand star formation pro- cesses, including the conversion of interstellar matter into stars and back again. A major issue regarding the IMF concerns its universality, i.e. whether the IMF is constant in time, place, and metallicity. When a solar-metallicity star reaches a mass below 0.072 M ¡ (Baraffe et al. 1998), the core temperature and pressure are too low to burn hydrogen stably. Objects below this mass were originally termed “black dwarfs” because the low-luminosity would hamper their detection (Ku- mar 1963).

  • A Spectroscopy Study of Nearby Late-Type Stars, Possible Members of Stellar Kinematic Groups

BOX 78, E-28691, Villanueva de la Ca˜nada, Madrid, Spain Received ; Accepted ABSTRACT Context. Nearby late-type stars are excellent targets for seeking young objects in stellar associations and moving groups. The origin of these structures is still misunderstood, and lists of moving group members often change with time and also from author to author. Most members of these groups have been identified by means of kinematic criteria, leading to an important contamination of previous lists by old field stars. Aims. We attempt to identify unambiguous moving group members among a sample of nearby-late type stars by studying their kinematics, lithium abundance, chromospheric activity, and other age-related properties. Methods. High-resolution echelle spectra (R ∼ 57000) of a sample of nearby late-type stars are used to derive accurate radial velocities that are combined with the precise Hipparcos parallaxes and proper motions to compute galactic-spatial velocity components. Stars are classified as possible members of the classical moving groups according to their kinematics.

Thesis advisor: Professor C. E. Jones Bethany Grzenia Abstract A series of B-emission (Be) stars was observed interferometrically and numerically mod- elled to be consistent with the observations. Uniform geometrical disks were used to make first-order inferences about the configuration of the disk systems’ extended structures and their extent on the sky. Later, the Bedisk-Beray-2dDFTpipeline was used to make sophis- ticated non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) calculations of the conditions within the disks. In the first instance, sixteen stars were observed in the near-infrared (K-band, 2.2µm) with the Palomar Testbed Interferometer (PTI). The Bedisk portion of the pipeline was used to model disk temperature and density structures for B0, B2, B5 and B8 spectral types, which were then compared to observations of stars most closely matching one of these types.

This book can be referenced as follows: Reipurth, B. 2016, http://ifa.hawaii.edu/SP1 i FOREWORD I first learned about George Herbig’s work when I was a teenager. I grew up in Denmark in the 1950s, a time when Europe was healing the wounds after the ravages of the Second World War. Already at the age of 7 I had fallen in love with astronomy, but information was very hard to come by in those days, so I scraped together what I could, mainly relying on the local library. At some point I was introduced to the magazine Sky and Telescope, and soon invested my pocket money in a subscription. Every month I would sit at our dining room table with a dictionary and work my way through the latest issue. In one issue I read about Herbig-Haro objects, and I was completely mesmerized that these objects could be signposts of the formation of stars, and I dreamt about some day being able to contribute to this field of study.

    Front cover page: A system of channels (centered at 20.53◦N, -118.49◦E) emanated from the graben near to Jovis Tholus region, Mars. MRO-CTX stereo pair derived DTM draped over the CTX image. Presence of multiple channels, braided-like channel network at the downstream end, and terraces suggests their plausible fluvial origin. Lava flow into the channels termini hindered the real extent of the channel network, b) an example of a streamlined island form ed within the channel and c) an example of a curvilinear island suggesting the possible flow direction.
